    Change Freeform fields on form to a grid layout?

    I have forms working fine. They are displaying freeform layout fields though. I have changed my mind and would like to have them in a grid with the header at the top. I cannot find how to make that change??



    Thanks,
    Dave

    You want Datasheet view? That is form property setting. On Properties dialog, Format tab, DefaultView.

    Is the AllowDatasheetView property set to No?

    It is set to yes. Maybe that image won't help. I just tried to grab all the form properties.
    Click image for larger version.

    No other ideas. Want to provide db for analysis. Follow instructions at bottom of my post. Identify form involved.
